Hi Sergei,

Thanks for the pointer, but my regional settings are correct. Is there another way to fix this?

Yes, it looks like it only considers as decimal separator already entered dot or comma, but doesn't affect numpad. Sorry.

If you click on gear on top right, what is your current language for OneDrive?

Nederlands, which is correct. Also the regional settings.
Do you have another idea?

    MarkvanGeffen Sebastien_B Do you happen to find something. i can´t believe this still an issue...
    
    is not related to regional settings (because the comma is well detected as decimal separator from the qwerty keyboad), the thing is like it doesn´t detect well the key in the numpad, and it literally types the "." instead of the key in your regional settings ","
    
    Thanks
